I never imagined I would have a personal reason to join March for Babies — but here we are.
Maelyn was born at 27 weeks after a sudden placental abruption turned our world upside down. She’s now in the NICU at Richland, fighting every single day and showing us just how strong she truly is.
Preterm birth and maternal complications aren’t just statistics to our family anymore. They’re our story.
I’m raising funds because I want better outcomes, more answers, and more support for families like ours — especially those who are most at risk. Every baby deserves a fighting chance. Every mom deserves safe, compassionate care, just like I’ve been given.
If you feel led, I would be so grateful for your support — whether that’s through a donation, sharing this page, or simply praying for our girl.
March of Dimes is dedicated to bringing people together to tackle America's maternal and infant health crisis—one person, one community, and one step at a time. More than a series of walks, March for Babies is an annual tradition that supports moms and babies every day, every step of the way.
March for Babies connects friends, families, and coworkers to improve the health of families nationwide. Together with March of Dimes, each step forward brings us closer to a healthy future for all.
Thank you for your support!
